It's a lot more than a random text editor.
It's a text editor from (at least some of) the people that made Atom at GitHub (with the explicit premise of learning from Atom/building a faster, better, Atom).
The business plan is to sell collaboration features (e.g., remote pair programming).

Likewise, I think this bill could be used against companies with Chinese investment, like anything Tencent investment (e.g. Fortnite, League of Legends, etc).
IANAL but I believe that would not be covered under this bill. Those games are run by American companies with foreign investment.
Maybe when it gets to the point where the foreign power is the majority shareholder. However, I think in a publicly traded company they'd just be forced to divest and that would likely take a different law.

Just the standard "you can sue if you think this is unfair and have your day in court."
What it looks like is if China or Russia has a competitor to a US product (say, Yandex or Baidu), a US company (say, Google) could lobby the President to mark them as a threat and ban them from the US. The product doesn’t need to actually have the capacity to cause harm, it just needs to be from one of the adversary countries (currently China, Russia, N. Korea, and Iran).
This is true, but it's also pretty unlikely. Even TikTok is just a vine ripoff, but a vine that was successfully monetized.
There really hasn't been much to come out of our "foreign adversaries" that I think most people would care about. If that's the price we have to pay ... I'm not the least bit worried about it really.
Furthermore, China is happy to use public money to back companies (as a sort of "state run venture capital"); that is a threat to competition in the same way venture capital is a threat to competition.

I think you should check out this article in The Atlantic, it goes into the history of the US government's previous laws to protect against foreign propaganda and manipulation of the media. What you'll find is this is more of an update (to catch up with the internet era) than a revamp of US domestic policy.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/03/tiktok-bill-foreign-influence/677806/
Also a key point I think you're missing here:
but it also allows the President to denote any other entity in one of those countries as a significant threat
The president can only do this for apps from the countries covered in the US code as Foreign Adversaries, which means the president can act quickly against threats, but this is a bad avenue for attacking competition in other friendly countries (e.g., shutting down Proton would require congress to pass a law that Switzerland is a foreign adversary -- which would not be good for relations -- AND a law specifically targeting Proton accompanying that or the president to then act against Proton).
All of this is still subject to judicial review as well.

I'm sure it's just even more detail about the scope of that influence campaign (and possibly an extrapolation of effectiveness on public opinion).
The major thing is manipulation of the public's information pipeline by a hostile foreign power. There are already existing laws about foreign owned media (as cited by the New York Times this morning https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/03/tiktok-bill-foreign-influence/677806/).

It's far more common for Democrat run municipalities to create municipal cable and for Republicans to outlaw (or propose outlawing) municipal cable state wide.
It's not even politicizing it's a literal Republican talking point that the government should stay out of things and let free market competition sort these things out.
The problem with that of course is that they'd rather take money from some regional monopolies than actually create a free market system with reasonable restrictions on it.

I haven't given Discord a dime from the start because I knew this was going to happen.
The entire premise of Discord's free service was to gobble up the market from TeamSpeak, Ventrillo, and Mumble and capture the ecosystem using a ton of venture capital. In any sane world it would be an illegal mode of operation to provide "free service" based on venture capital like that.
TeamSpeak did manage to react but their reaction has been slow (I think they're a much smaller team and still a private company). Their new client is fairly feature complete but still not out of beta (AFAIK).
Mumble is an open source project and is still ticking as a result as well (though obviously it's received much less love since Discord stole the spotlight).

I had a buddy who was a Linux ARM laptop fanatic back in like 2014. Microsoft had been trying to make Windows on ARM a thing for years before that.
Apple was the first to popularize it but it's been a work in progress if you've been paying attention for a LOT longer. What helped Apple is all the work they did on their own ARM chips for iOS. They managed to get pretty close to x86 performance in an ARM chip. They also had an app store of apps that could run on them and an emulator for things that wouldn't.
Every time Microsoft tried nobody would release ARM builds... People just bought the x86 laptops. It's the same chicken and egg problem desktop Linux has had for years.

Yeah, I've run into this before as well. I had a post I made in the standard notes community about a sale get down voted...
I made another post asking what happened and that's how I found out it was down voted by a bunch of people that weren't even part of the community because "it looked like an ad on their feed."
I also had some user error on my part when I added the Zed RSS feed to Auto Post Bot without taking enough precautions to make sure it wasn't going to post ancient stuff... Got some pretty heavy down votes presumably because it took about a page and a half of the "all" feed. I cleaned things up within 15 minutes, but it was definitely like "man, can I just not deal with people that aren't even community members?"
Don't get me wrong their frustration was valid, I screwed up, but also... I just don't understand browsing all.

Battery life always goes to crap almost exactly 2 years after purchase
Disposable battery technology is disposable. We don't have truly rechargable batteries yet ... and the EV batteries only last longer (AFAIK) because they've got better cooling systems and are higher grade -- read more expensive -- components.
Appliances use plastic parts and come with a plethora of unnecessary features all on one circuit board so when one feature breaks the appliance is dead
That's not the entire story there ... it's just cheaper to make it one board. You can eliminate some points of failure by using one board as well.
It's definitely ridiculous appliance companies aren't providing parts. I'd also like to point out ... I was specifically responding to the widespread e-waste from the mobile devices sector. Not "all things that could possible become e-waste in 2024." GUARANTEED planned obselence is what has been happening there for years with "2 years of device security updates" and that nonsense is ending.
There’s even a story going around about a business-class HP printer
Yeah, don't buy HP.
It’s gone long past planned obsolescence at this point. Whether it’s software or hardware, companies want you subscribed for life. Anything less and they break the devices that were able to dupe you into thinking you owned.
Subscriptions aren't necessarily the enemy when it comes to e-waste. They're bad for ownership, but they're not bad for planned obsolescence and e-waste. If your subscribers need your device to keep working to keep paying you, you've got a much stronger incentive to keep the device working vs just abandoning it.
This already happened with software, there really isn't "buy once then buy again and again and again" software anymore, the vast majority of software has gone subscription. This is also true of online games like CSGO, Hunt Showdown, Fortnite, etc.
It's just a matter of making things into subscriptions that are mutually beneficial. Your printer being an InkJet printer with a vendor locked in subscription that doesn't offer any real service is absurd and should be illegal. Your smart home camera having a subscription to store cloud video, provide new features and security updates ... that's a reasonable service that a lot of "normal" people don't want to do themselves (and incentivizes manufactures to keep their devices working so you keep paying).
A big part of the problem with e-waste is that companies setup fancy features to sell a product but didn't plan for how to support that product's software for the life of the product (because they're not making any more after the point of sale) ... so we end up with a very insecure piece of unserviceable e-waste.
Don't get me wrong we've still got a long way to go before we find a solution that handles the problem for all the various devices being manufactured these days. However, credit where it's due the mobile devices sector / "big tech" is doing better than they have for the last 15 years, and that's all I'm trying to contest. There IS change happening.

This is speculation by Ars Technica. Essentially, a recent firmware upgrade seems to have drastically lowered the battery life of some models. In addition, they are removing all third-party apps in the EU in response to the DMA.
Sounds like it's more speculation from users published by Ars ... which is fair but also needs to be taken to some degree with a grain of salt. This is not expert commentary, this is personal anecdote. It's a grievance I have with a lot of media, e.g., interviewing random people on the street for "their take" ... they don't necessarily know what they're talking about.
I'd flag this as concerning but, it's also not uncommon for updates to devices to require more resources, with requires more power and can definitely be done accidentally. There's the doomer argument that it's all malicious planned obsolesced under the guise of plausible deniability ... but I wouldn't be so sure. They're selling subscriptions for fitbit, for a subscription model to work, the fitbit needs to work; it's against their own interest in continued revenue to brick the devices.
Google does need better support in general; it's not uncommon for bugs to go unfixed for way longer than should be acceptable.
Most recently Roku.
That's not a bricking from a firmware upgrade; it is scummy though.
Google’s history of bricking its smart home products goes back to at least 2016
They've discontinued products they haven't launched but purchased, that's not quite the same thing. Even some very old nest cams are still working just fine (again it's against their best interest to sell subscriptions and have devices that they're selling subscriptions for dropped from support/virus ridden/etc). That's a bit scummy but it does make sense from a "we want some of their technology but don't want to maintain their code/redevelop the product on our software." Every piece of hardware they've done this on has seemed incredibly niche to me as well (i.e., not something you're going to find in your local department store).
The exception to that was their nest home security system, which IIRC they allowed users to pivot into an ADT system (and I vaguely recall offering some level of refunds).
Their Stadia controllers they provided a free tool to convert into generic Bluetooth controllers after shutdown... Literally nothing to gain from that except perhaps some PR.
There's plenty of evidence to the contrary for Google bricking perfectly good devices "just because."
Wink threaten to brick your devices unless you suddenly start paying a monthly fee on top of your purchase price “for life”
Yeah, this is the typical "startup made a bad business decision and is now trying to squeeze users." I hate it as much as you do (but it's not Google, Samsung, or generally speaking the mobile sector/big tech/mainstream tech).
The following is pure speculation on my part: I think we’re at the beginning of a huge wave of planned obsolescence. Everyone and their mother are now training AI’s, and they want their customers to replace older products, which don’t support AI integration, with new ones. They’ll soon stop supporting the older devices or outright bricking them, to force people to buy the new ones.
Big "press X to doubt" from me, primarily because of the desire to sell subscriptions. I think more likely Google (as an example) will keep everything they can working and then sell Gemini subscriptions on e.g., the nest hub + make new nest hubs with attractive features.
Speculation on my part but I think Google invested in Fuschia (and ported tons of legacy devices in the Nest ecosystem) specifically because they wanted to reduce the security risk and maintenance burden of keeping old devices going (to maximize subscription revenue).

Yeah, all the Logitechs and Razors I've ever had are glued (or some other non-obvious method of entry). Gaming mice tend to be the worst about this.
I have gone with Logitech over Razor as I have found them to last significantly longer. My last Logitech lasted ~5 years compared ~2.5 I was getting out of my razor mice.
It's incredibly common for Logitech and Razor to put a rechargeable battery in all their wireless mice instead of a user serviceable battery as well. This is in part because the general population seems to prefer this strategy (and it's better than non-rechargable AA or AAA batteries ... but that doesn't mean it's good).

If anything they’re supporting hardware with driver/OS updates less now than before.
That is literally false information. Prior to the last year there has been no version of Android that has more than 4 years of operating system security updates, before that it was common to be 3 and before that 2. They bumped it to 7.
I have a good working Android tablet that I’ve replaced the batteries on twice that I now can no longer use because the OS won’t get updated any more (security risk, etc.). Perfectly working, has to go in the trash.
Literally what I just explained they've been working to change, and have changed for their latest devices.

Google is introducing planned obsolesence in Fitbit
Have they? In what way?
They've done good work for Android and Pixel, promising 7 years of updates for the latest Pixels. Samsung has also gotten much better about this with their recent phones. That's going to put a huge dent in the e-waste as Android phones have surely been heavy contributors (certainly much higher than fitbit).
TVs get bricked with firmware upgrades.
What TVs? Vizio, Hisense, the Chinese junk budget brands?
Very sympathetic to your e-waste concerns; I think the source of the problem is actually getting better not worse though. In general, the mobile tech sector is "growing up" and supporting products longer.

Not sure what you're using to generate that list/formatting is a bit difficult.
I don't have a cluster since it's effectively single user + @Auto_Post_Bot@social.packetloss.gg (in theory a few other people have access, but they're not active), single machine, it's just more or less the out of the box docker stuff on a bare metal machine in my basement + a digital ocean droplet.
The droplet is what I'm using to have a static IP to prevent dynamic DNS nonsense + it provides some level of protection against a naive DDoS attack on random fediverse servers (since I can in the worst case, get on my phone and severe the ZeroTier connection that's using to connect the droplet to my basement server).
I'm pretty confident whatever is going on is payload related at this point.

There's then an internal nginx server that sees:

So, things did start timing out. I'm not sure what to do about that though.
This server is not resource starved:
load average: 0.04, 0.09, 0.10
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 31507 7651 1092 164 22764 23239
Swap: 16087 1 16086
It's just this lemmy.world data that's suddenly out of wack after months of normal operation (both on lemmy 18 and 19).
It feels like a bad payload that the server just can't move past for some reason and lemmy.world keeps sending.
I had logging on the lemmy container itself piped to /dev/null because it's just such a noisy log. I turned it back on... I'll see if I can find more information next time lemmy.world posts.

Yeah I'm basically the only user of this server. Good data point that you're not having issues though.

It's been up on 19.x for a few months now. It's also a full on bare metal server with a ton of resources, it's not at all starved.
It's almost like someone posted something to somewhere that "jammed" Lemmy and it just won't get past it but I'm not sure how to figure out what that would be or how to unjam things.
My main account is dark_arc@social.packetloss.gg. However, as of roughly ~~24-hours ago~~ (it seems this has been going on since March 10th and [gotten worse since](https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/edf3gjrxxnocgd/federation-health-activities-behind?var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=social.packetloss.gg&var-remote_software=All&from=1710013804000&to=now&orgId=1)) it seems like the server has stopped properly retrieving content from lemmy.world. It's been running smoothly for well over 9 months, and (I think) working fine for content coming in from other instances. So I'm curious if anyone else experienced anything strange with lemmy.world federation recently? # Setup Description The server flow in my case is as follows: [Public Internet] <-> [Digital Ocean Droplet] <-> [ZeroTier] <-> [Physical Machine in my Basement ([HW Info](https://lemmy.world/comment/8738511))] The Digital Ocean droplet is a virtual host machine that forwards requests via nginx to the physical machine where a second nginx server (running the standard lemmy nginx config) then forwards the request to the lemmy server software itself. # Current Status ## Lemmy Internal Error I've found this is my lemmy logs: ``` 2024-03-24T00:42:10.062274Z WARN lemmy_utils: error in spawn: Unknown: Request limit was reached during fetch 0: lemmy_apub::objects::community::from_json at crates/apub/src/objects/community.rs:126 1: lemmy_apub::fetcher::user_or_community::from_json at crates/apub/src/fetcher/user_or_community.rs:87 2: lemmy_server::root_span_builder::HTTP request with http.method=POST http.scheme="http" http.host=social.packetloss.gg http.target=/inbox otel.kind="server" request_id=688ad030-f892-4925-9ce9-fc4f3070a967 at src/root_span_builder.rs:16 ``` I'm thinking this could be the cause ... though I'm not sure how to raise the limit (it seems to be hard coded). I opened [an issue](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4563 ) with the Lemmy devs but I've since closed it while gathering more information/making sure this is truly an issue with the Lemmy server software. ## Nginx 408 and 499s I'm seeing the digital ocean nginx server reporting 499 on various "/inbox" route requests and I'm seeing the nginx running on the physical machine that talks directly to lemmy reporting 408 on various "/inbox" route requests. There are some examples in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/8728858

I've wondered if it would be possible to have a federated award system for funding... Similar to what Reddit was doing at one point. I actually kind of enjoy that and the fun emoji-like things that you'd see on interesting posts and comments.
That sounds like it's asking for some crypto currency mess though, or some (most?) instances just hanging them out for no charge.
There are plenty of multiplayer games I adore. However, it seems like every community has these "brain dead", patronizing, or out right toxic elements that are just nasty. I'd rather debate _politics_ than make suggestions in some gaming communities because the responses are just so ... annoying. As an example, I once dared to suggest that a game developer implement a mode to prevent crouched status from rendering on death cams so that players that are bothered by t-bagging could avoid it (after a match where a friend rage quit because someone just kept head shotting him -- possibly with cheats -- and then t-bagging). This post got _tons_ of hate, and like -50 upvotes on reddit because _of course_ someone should be _forced_ to watch someone t-bag them. Another example on a official game forum... I made a [forum post](https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/263303712?sort=0&page=0) suggesting Bungie use Mastodon (or really just something else being my intent)... The response I got was some positivity but mostly just "lol nobody uses that sweetie" and other patronizing comments. Meanwhile studios themselves often seem to be filled with developers that understand this stuff is a problem, and the lack of sportsmanship (or generally civilized attitudes) does push away players. It just doesn't make sense to me that no studio is saying "get lost" to these elements or implementing anti-toxicity features. I just want to play games with nice normal people, is that really *so much* to ask?
A ban on ReShade is (finally) coming in the next few days 🎉
What did you find most surprising? For me I think it's the double shot dualies... but lots of interesting stuff in this video!
I was very surprised that pennyshot is that much worse than buckshot.
Did anyone else notice there's no update post on https://telegram.org/ for the latest update? I don't recall this ever happening, let alone with the launch of a feature as big as stories? Anyone have any idea what's up?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1890329 > It's breaking the access to the website and not a good look for the "app store for Linux". A lesson in central points of failure?
I've seen [Wren](https://www.wren.co/) time and time again and I'm wondering what people think of it? Do you think there's merit to the "for profit, for public good company" vs the traditional non-profit?
